JOB INTERVIEW

The ten pieces every woman should have in her wardrobe

1. A white shirt

2. A leather biker jacket

3. A black blazer

4. A pair of boyfriend jeans

5. A Breton striped top

6. A pair of white trainers

7. A little black dress

8. Statement accessories

9. An iconic pair of designer shoes and a handbag

10. A pair of leather trousers

You may have spent hours researching the company and have all the right credentials for the role, but when going for an interview what you wear can have just as big an impact when it comes to clinching that job.

And for Rosie McKay, the most important thing to think about when dressing for an interview is to take into account the two Ps: your clothes need to be polished and professional.

'It's important that you feel comfortable, so choose something that is not only suitable for the role that you are interviewing for, but also something you don't have to fuss over,' she told Daily Mail Australia.

'A tailored pair of trousers and elegant top that flatters your shape is a great option.'

While the stylist said you need to look smart, you can also show elements of your personality through how you dress for your interview.

'For instance, you could choose softer colours like cream and khaki instead of black,' Rosie said.

'Alternatively, you could choose trousers that have a little bit of detail like the ones in this shoot which have a stripe running down the leg.'

She recommends leaving the 'super high heels at home', and instead opt for a pointed pump with a kitten heel.

'Finally, add an accessory - something feminine like a fine gold necklace, that will set off your look and add some interest'.
